TreVeyon Henderson last year as a true freshman

Last season, Henderson established himself as one of the best running backs in college football, rushing for 1,248 yards as a true freshman. It was the second-most yards in Ohio State program history by a freshman. He also set the school record for the most rushing yards in a single-game by a freshman against Tulsa, racking up 270 yards. Henderson also ranked second in the nation in averaging 6.8 yards per carry.

He racked up Freshman All-American honors from several media publications across the country.

Coming out of high school, the On3 Consensus Rankings rated Henderson as the 20th best overall prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. He’s listed at 5-foot-10-inches, 215-pounds and attended Hopewell High School (Hopewell, Virginia).

He didn’t play his senior season of high school football due to his school moving their season to the spring of 2021.

The gifted tailback was finally named Hopewell’s starting running back as a junior and he responded in a big way–by rushing for 2,424 rushing yards and 45 touchdowns.

In his career at Hopewell, TreVeyon Henderson compiled over 4,000 yards rushing with 50 touchdowns and helped Hopewell win its second consecutive state championship in 2019.
